Mbappé examined on wrong knee in Madrid

“El País” wrote that the resulting misdiagnosis “aggravated” Mbappé’s knee injury and delayed recovery. The French international striker is foaming with anger, it was said in “Marca”. The medical department’s error caused chaos at FC Bayern Munich’s next Champions League opponent, the paper assures.

The French journalist Daniel Riolo said on Tuesday in the “RMC” program “After Foot” that the “Royal” doctors had simply made a mistake about the knee and therefore made a wrong diagnosis. “An MRI scan was performed on his right leg, although he was experiencing pain on his left leg,” it said. This “really upset” the captain of the Équipe de France when he found out about it.

In Paris, Mbappé found “the right solution”

The various parties involved initially did not comment on these statements. Mbappé, who was injured in Real’s home defeat against Celta de Vigo (0-2) on December 7th, said on Monday when asked about his injury: “I was lucky to find the right solution in Paris.” He was “not the happiest player in the world” during this time.

“El País” wrote that the Real doctors’ mistake had been confirmed “via directly involved sources”. The renowned newspaper emphasized: “The sources we consulted at the club did not deny this.”

Mbappé was treated in Paris by doctor Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet and is now “100 percent fit,” said Riolo. After a long break at Real, the 27-year-old came on as a substitute in the victories at Manchester City (2-1) on March 17th and on Sunday against Atlético Madrid (3-2) and did not feel any problems. He is therefore expected to play in the French national team’s World Cup friendly against Brazil on Thursday in Boston and against Colombia in Landover near Washington on Sunday.
